Keeping Up Appearances - Some Like It Hyacinth [DVD]

Beautiful show with charismatic characters, and very innovative episodes. Highly recommend.

Product arrived on expected timeliness and in good condition.

This particular video rises to the same level of humor I have come to expect from Keeping Up Appearances. Patricia Routledge, in fledgling episodes of this series, gives a stellar performance as the social-conscious Hyacinth Bucket. In "Daddy's Fondness for Dairy Products," Daddy has once again met with an unfortunate turn of events, this time while bicycling in the altogether. The hospital scenes where Hyacinth demands to see the "extent" of his injuries had me rolling on the floor laughing.In "Welcoming the Dishy Vicar," we get to see the first Rose and her affinity for the new vicar. Hyacinth has invited the vicar and his missus for tea, and Rose appears with Daisy and Onslow, only to "dash" the vicar away for her own whims! Hyacinth is beside herself, but manages to salvage the day, and her reputation.In "Visitin An Acquaintance's Stately Home," we get to hear Richard at his English best, talking about the lorry and the dual carriageway. And is that Daddy in his Captain Midnight costume? Goodness, what's he up to now?I miss seeing Emmett in these episodes, but Elizabeth definitely holds her won. And we hear a little background about where her elisive husband is and why she shares a place with her brother.Overall worthwhile purchase. I've watched it often.

When I first watched Hyacinth, I fell in love with her and her crazy family. I think she is great! She may seem stuck up, but I really do think she means well, and people take her the wrong way! Except she could have been a bit nicer to her sisters. I used to DVR Keeping Up Appearances every Saturday night, but I got really upset when our PBS station was sold, and they didn't buy the rights to the British sitcoms. I had the idea on looking for the British sitcoms on DVD, but was worried I couldn't find them. I looked on Amazon, and there they were. Every 2 weeks I buy a new one so I will have the complete collection! Keeping Up Appearances is the best sitcom to start watching if you are interested in watching Brit-coms. Thank you Amazon and to the seller for carrying one of my favorite shows!

Enjoy the harmless comedy. Sadly the dvds have some technical flaws....

I love all the Keeping Up Appearances and watch them over and over. For several months, our PBS did not show them because of a station change, and we missed it so very much. Now Saturday nights seem like Saturday again! My favorite one is when Hyacinth persuades Richard to drive a Rolls Royce without permission, and they drove to a hotel in the country. As soon as I saw the entrance and the sign saying Walton Hall Hotel, I knew that I had been there. I was fortunate to have spent a week there many years ago. It is so exciting to see the building, beautiful grounds (there were sheep at the back when I was there), and the little church at the front where the police stopped Richard and Hyacinth. I love every minute of it and have many happy memories of my visit there, thanks to this DVD.

What a delightful DVD. It was so funny..I laughed so hard..Love the characters! I really enjoyed watching these episodes, best treat I bought for myself. Best 31/2 hours spent.

The dvd wouldn’t load at all!!! Must not be for my DVD player!!! I sent a message on customer service, but, no reply from AMAZON!!! ?????

After viewing it, now the centre has broken out and can't use

Keeping up appearances stellt auf eine klassische und äußerst brittische Art und Weise dar, wie Menschen etwas vorgeben, was sie letzendlich nicht sind. Sie lügen sich selbst etwas vor um den Anschein zu wahren.

For those ardent fans of the series this is a must! It contains four episodes that are unfortunately not on the so-called 'complete series' 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 available from BBC UK. The episodes are: GENERAL BUCKET - Hyacinth bursts into song around her neighbours in an attempt to secure herself a place in 'The Bofriend'.A BON VIVANT BUFFET - Hyacinth is convinced Emmet is too shy to offer her a part in his musical and so drafts a plan by inviting him and Elizabeth to a BBQ sing-along at her sister Violet's. A CRAFTS WOMAN SCORNED Hyacinth loses to Lydia Hawksworth at the local craft fair, a woman Hyacinth found to be objectionable at one of her candlelight suppers! SCINTILLATING SOCIALISING Hyacinth takes out an ad for her new business, which aims to advise and educate the nation on gracious entertaining and etiquette.

If it's Hyacinth, I love it. My favourite British comedy ever. The whole cast is good but she is amazing and the writing was top notch. If you watch one episode only make it the one on the Q.E. II, it is my favourite of all time and superb.

This Dvd was exactly what i expected it to be, really liked it. Will recommend it to all my friends who love comedy.
